Valve Stem Extenders for SAS Wheels

[thompsdw]

I don't like extensions at all, but I really struggle to get an air hose (or my Morrflate system) on the valve stems. I guess I could have longer stems installed, but that seems like it would be expensive. Several of my trim rings are nicked (could have been the previous owner) where the tool goes on the stem as well. What is everyone else doing? Just struggling and getting accessories screwed onto the stems?

You might try just changing out the air chuck. When I ordered my kit from Tireflate, it is equipped with these chucks. They work great on my SAS wheels. Steve, who owns the company, is very helpful.

I understand I can do that, but it doesn't work for portable compressors or air down systems. That's why I was asking what others are doing. Milton makes a metal 3/4" extension that gets good reviews.

After doing a little research I think I am going to go this temporary route:

And my F150 Raptor wheels are almost impossible to get the cap off. Going to get these to help with those and the Bronco wheels.

BTW - all this got started while watching a news story last night about blowouts significantly increasing in winter due to poor air pressure. Good thing to check when they are cold if you live in a cold area.

Yeah, let me now how it works. I have the MORRFlate setup and the chucks can be a bear. I always have one that just won't let go. I do wonder if cutting them off and replacing with a quick release of some kind would help.

Can you just attach these extenders permanently to your MORRFLATE hoses?

I would think you'd have to screw them into the valve stem, meaning if they're on the hose, you wouldn't get them on. If they were clips no the other end, though. Now I'm wondering if my deflation extenders with the clips would work...

I wonder if these would work, reversed on the chuck? Says out of stock, but I can at least try it, since I own a set already. But if they did, I'd probably buy some more if I could find them.

I think you could, but you are going to have to remove them to screw the extension onto the valve stem and then onto the MorrFlate hose. They don't swivel and the whole purpose is to use the extension to reach the valve stem.

I know this is off topic, but have you guys seen the MorrFlate Air Hub? Holy cow. Airing up and down with the hose set just turned into no big deal.

They work the opposite way on the Staun deflators; the nipple/male end goes into the deflator, the female end on the valve. I don't know why clipping the MORRFlate quick release onto the nipple end wouldn't work, which puts the female end on the valve stem side.

Yes, and I've seen the price and I've already spent enough...

I think I am going to have to get one. Way too cool. Could even use it in the garage.

This may be a gold option for you… Worked for me.

I am looking for the same but need it to angle out away from the rim not much space to get the Moorflate quick connect on the stem.
